I just googled 'patties' and apparently they're some kind of pastry. I'm guessing that a sausag pattie is a pastry roll with a sausage in it?

So you would have that with french toast? Or would the french toast be like a kind of 'dessert' after the hearty pattie?

No, no, no...

In the US, you can buy sausage in lots of different forms. One of them is "bulk" sausage which is sold in a cylinder shape encased in a plastic cover (sorry for sounding so illiterate...I am really struggling with finding ordinary English words!). A very popular brand is made by Jimmy Dean. Anyway, you slice the sausage into little rounds (the patties). The cover/casing even has dotted lines to help you out with where to slice them! You pan fry the patties and serve with the French toast.

Sausage links are also popular but I like the patties, myself.

I just looked at the Jimmy Dean website. They call it "roll sausage." Who knew? I learned something new today!

Wow!  Now that's amazing, because I had French toast last night for dinner too!  

I made it with Challah bread.  Yummmmmmmmmm!!!

Yes, Challah makes GREAT French toast....

The bread that Chrissi bought was good, too. Just an ordinary white bread in a loaf shape but it had a nice texture and soaked up the egg mixture very nicely.

Hahaha....I've never been to Scotland but in England and Ireland I would be served the following for breakfast (every day):

Eggs, various kinds of sausage, bacon, cooked tomatoes, cooked mushrooms, toast, croissants, muffins, jam, jelly, butter, coffee and juice.

And you call us COOKY? LOL

Nothing like a good English fry-up, eh?

At farmers' markets and butcher shops around here (Pennsylvania), you can often buy sausage meat that isn't encased in anything--they will have large pans of ground and seasoned sausage meat in the refrigerated cabinet. You can buy it by the pound and make your own patties out of it.

I'm partial to sage sausage myself.

I wanted to make fruit salad and sausage patties to go with the French toast and give her the real American experience. However, Chrissi told me that no one (except me) would eat fruit salad and apparently, something like Jimmy Dean's sausage is unheard of here. So, all we had was French toast but I was able to persuade Chrissi to buy a bottle of maple syrup to go with it!

Of course! You're in the homeland of the wurst!

Now - I''m a veggie - but the best sausage is the scottish square sausage -  yum! and fruit pudding is lovely too...

The croissants and muffins are definitely an add on to please different tastes - its certainly not a staple food for breakfast - particularly the muffins..

It amazed me in the US how donuts were seen as breakfast food.. with lots of icing and all sorts of stuff on them....

That's why I thought I'd be able to find some link sausage or something, but the notion of "breakfast sausage" seems to be American (from what I can tell). Looking at the butcher case at the "Activ Markt" I did see wurst and its brethren, but nothing that resembled a "Jones Farm" link. LOL

Yes...I suppose traditional in England is COLD toast, right? LOL

I know....ewww...makes my teeth hurt thinking about them but I can't really say anything since my daughter is a fan of Dunkin' Donuts strawberry frosteds!
